Rosary - Steel, Glass - 1800-1850

Ancient rosary in blue pâte-de-verre and steel, dating probably to the late 18th century or the very early 19th century.

It is composed of small cylindrical beads of blue pâte-de-verre, paired with cut-steel elements. The steel shows, in places, slight traces of oxidation, consistent with its great age, without compromising the overall solidity.

The cross, of simple form and typical of old productions, retains all the charm of devotional objects from that period. The piece has remained solid and well preserved.

Dimensions:
• Total length: about 30 cm
• Cross (without the ring): about 1.9 × 1.2 cm
• Weight: about 10.2 g

Beautiful object of popular piety from the late 18th century or early 19th century, a testament to an ancient craftsmanship and a bygone era.
